It would be nice to have 3 great receivers, but I'd rather have (2) and a great offensive line. If we had (3) starting caliber tackles on our team we'd have a lot of flexibility with our depth. One tackle kicks in to guard and backs up both tackle spots. This excites me more than having 3 legit wide receivers--mainly because of the past several years of such terrible offensive line play. But I also hold the opinion that a franchise LT is more valuable than a franchise WR.

If this offense were a more traditional offense that focused most targets towards two WRs (Higgins and Boyd) with more targets also going to TE and RB such that the third WR wasn't as important, I would agree. There would for sure be a concern though if Boyd and/or Higgins got hurt though. Tate, Thomas, and a mid-round or late-round WR would not be good depth. It could be fine though if they focused more on the running game and getting the TEs involved in the passing game.
